This course gives the students an opportunity to explore a thematic approach to the universal ideas found in world literature, literature of the Commonwealth, and British literature. Selected fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama will be explored using all facets of language arts - listening, speaking, reading, and writing reflective of the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards. Vocabulary and critical reading reflective of the SAT will also be included. The course includes the study of language usage and the writing process. The general education teacher will teach this class in collaboration with a special educator in order to ensure that both general education and special education students have access to the general education curriculum.
